Beta Festival
Venues around Dublin
Beta is a festival of art and technology critically engaging with the impact of emerging technologies on society. Taking Ireland’s role as a central node in today’s wired world as a starting point, Beta will showcase and celebrate Ireland’s research and artistic communities through a combination of creativity, debate and experimentation. Beta allows members of the public to engage playfully and critically with new technologies essentially beta testing ethical issues facing society.
For 2025, Beta explores ideas of fluidity across water, language, information, and quantum states – domains where form dissolves and reconstitutes, where binaries collapse into continuums. In a time of accelerated change, we consider how flow – of bodies, ideas, and information – challenges rigid structures and invites new ways of being.

Science Week
Around Ireland
Marking its 30th anniversary, Science Week, will take place across Ireland from 9-16 November, with 14 festivals and a huge variety of events set to take place nationwide. Coordinated by Research Ireland, Science Week is an annual week-long celebration of science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM).
With this year’s theme of ‘Then. Today. Tomorrow.’, Research Ireland is encouraging people to explore how science and research have shaped and improved the lives we live today, while also looking at the questions and challenges of tomorrow, and how insights from the past can influence our future decisions.
A wide range of festivals and events will take place across Ireland as part of Science Week, from an Immersive Sustainable Escape Room to an Otter Spotters Roadshow, there is something for everybody. There will be two showcase events in Cork and Dublin that are not to be missed:
- Cork: Renowned spectacle theatre company Macnas will make its Cork premiere at Marina Market for Science Week 2025. On Sunday, 9 November, Macnas will bring its vibrant troupe of drummers, stilt walkers, sculptures, and puppets to Cork city to tell a powerful story about biodiversity loss and the gradual disappearance of the corncrake across Ireland. Known for its distinctive and recognisable call, the corncrake’s decline serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to protect habitats and biodiversity. An installation inspired by the performance will remain at Marina Market, alongside the Science Week-funded SpaceFest, until Thursday, 13 November.
- Dublin: Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon Lands in Merrion Square to celebrate 30 years of Science Week. Internationally acclaimed artist Luke Jerram will bring his breathtaking installation, Museum of the Moon, to Merrion Square, Dublin, from 13–15 November. The seven-metre illuminated sphere, featuring detailed imagery of the lunar surface from NASA, offers visitors an extraordinary opportunity to experience the Moon up close. Suspended in one of Dublin’s most iconic city parks, the artwork invites reflection on our relationship with the night sky, the planet, and beyond.
Some other events taking place not to be missed include:
- Then, Today and Tomorrow – Exploring a Changing Ocean Around Us – Galway – 15 November, 10am-5pm
